Moderated by Dr. Shelley Kedar, Director of the Connecting the Jewish People Unit at the Jewish Agency, this webinar features insights from Prof. Bruria Adini, Head of the Emergency & Disaster Management Department at Tel Aviv University, and Dr. Dorit Redlich-Amirav, an occupational therapist and researcher specializing in hope and mental health in educational and healthcare settings.

In the wake of the October 7 attacks and the subsequent global surge in antisemitism, we explored with renowned researchers the concept of hope as a vital element in fostering personal and societal resilience.

Prof. Adini’s research underscores hope as a key predictor of societal resilience during crises, including armed conflicts and pandemics.
Dr. Redlich-Amirav emphasizes the role of hope in enhancing mental well-being through meaningful activities and its transmission across generations.
